- The reason Ric Flair backed out of his induction appearance at the Tragos/Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame on July 13th is because he is scheduled for a paid appearance that day in Los Angeles for HollywoodShow.com.

- Former WWE star Vladimir Kozlov is featured in season 7, episode 4 of USA Network's Burn Notice.

- We noted before that WWE had hired independent wrestler Ryan Katz (GQ Money) to work as an associate producer at NXT. He noted on Twitter this week that he was unloading and setting up 33,000 pounds of weights and equipment for WWE's Performance Center in Orlando. As noted, they will open up on July 11th for a media day.
